Smoking on a flight has been banned since 2000, but it’s still a common habit for many travelers.
This is despite the fact that smoking bans are based on scientific research and don’t apply to flights that don’t have an actual airport.
In 2018, an American Airlines passenger told The Smoking Gun that she’s been able to stop smoking while on planes thanks to a tip from a coworker.
“When I was on a trip with my wife and daughter, we were on an airplane, and they had a rule about smoking on airplanes.
I knew the rule and knew that smoking is not allowed,” she said.
She said that the coworker alerted her to the rule, which allowed smokers to smoke in the cockpit but not in the bathrooms.
She didn’t know what the rule was about, so she checked with the airline and found out that smoking in the bathroom is prohibited.
However, she says that after the airline started enforcing the rule in 2019, the coworking partner’s tip helped her quit.
“We were still using hookahs, but we were using it in the lounge, and it was a much nicer way of getting rid of it,” she told The Huffington Post.
The coworker said that she doesn’t think smoking in bathrooms is an issue for everyone.
“I’m not a big proponent of smoking in a bathroom,” she explained.
“For me, I have friends who smoke in my apartment, and for them it’s fine.”
According to a study published in the Journal of Health Psychology, most people who are allowed to smoke on a flights are actually more likely to use hookahs in the airport.
This study found that when it comes to smoking, smokers who are permitted to smoke are more likely than smokers who aren’t to use their hookahs during the trip.
Smoking is still a popular habit for some people, and many smokers have taken to Reddit to share tips about how to stop it while traveling.
Here are some of the most common tips: Don’t smoke in a crowded airport area.
“The airport is a little bit like the subway in a lot of ways,” wrote one Reddit user who was asked to share her tip.
“If there is a lot to do and you are not in a rush, just walk around the terminals and take a break.
That is all there is to it.
If there is more than enough room, the airport is perfect for smoking.
It is not crowded and there is plenty of space for people to smoke.”
